The Genuine BESH Palais. To misquote Carlsberg, we're probably the barrenest TTC-ers in the world...

We are Barren. We are Evil, on account of having left procreating until our 30s. We are Selfish, thinking only of careers and money and cars and holidays. And lastly, we are Hags. Welcome to the BESH gin palace. Babydusters and instadiffers need not apply.

I am nervously waiting for a call from SB, who's gone to see his GP about painful balls

Quick wave...

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 03/05/2013 08:02

Ouch lemon, that sounds, er, painful.

Happy shagging Bugs

Evil have you seen all the pictures/videos from the ST:ID premiere last night? They're all ver Twitter Grin

evilgiraffe · 03/05/2013 08:34

Not yet, Frank, I'm too scared of spoilers to go looking! Pictures will get posted up on my LJ comms pretty soon, though, I think.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 03/05/2013 09:51

I didn't see any spoilers evil, lots of hawt men in suits though Wink

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 03/05/2013 09:57

Phew, unlikely to be anything properly sinister or anything to do with the general inability to conceive. Maybe an infection, maybe kidney stones, or maybe something else.

Rasps, is this the end of the long dtd drought then?

EuroShaggleton · 03/05/2013 10:57

Nice work rasp.

Welcome back merk. What's going on in merkinland at the moment?

drizz I'm glad it doesn't sound like anything too problematic.

evilgiraffe · 03/05/2013 12:11

Hawt men in suits is a given, Frank! Grin

Excellent work, rasp, and for Driz.

Just been for a ten-mile jolly - not really hammering it too much, but still keeping a nice high average speed. We're off to the pub for a friend's birthday later, and if HOTB gets home in time we'll ride there - it's a few villages away, so an easy six miles or so. It's been a long time since I've ridden in the dark, though!

CatsCantFlyFast · 03/05/2013 16:10

Ouch at painful balls. In merkinland I've generally been stropping about lack of baybee and doing nothing to help (including only having the sechs once in shag week last cycle). Due to O on Tue and off on hol with VVTM in the morn so would hope for some action in the sun however new job starts in June and I won't get maternity pay if upduffment happens before I start. Anyone want to bet who will win between law of sod or total barren-ness in the fight of whether I get diffed this month?? I'm so sure I will never get pg that I'm being rather blasé about it, but sure that wouldn't be the case if I wasn't getting paid during maternity leave!!

Rhod Gilbert is on.

Bet he goes like a train.....

OP posts:
CaptainMoll · 03/05/2013 22:15

I am on a train. It has been moving very slowly for a very long time and is running an hour late.
I hope Rhod Gilbert goes much better than this.

TWinklyLittleStar · 03/05/2013 23:19

I am at my parents house. I don't think Rhod could go faster than a plane. I think maybe tonight wasn't the best time to do my first sleep with my new mooncup - I am terrified I will leak onto my mum's sheets.

CaptainMoll · 03/05/2013 23:58

I've never found moon up to be the tiniest bit leaky. Just make sure it's popped out into a full circle. Does that make sense? Run your finger round it.. Tmi? It's hard to explain Hmm
I give up. Sleep tight!

CaptainMoll · 03/05/2013 23:58

CUP not up.

Nokkie73 · 04/05/2013 00:07

Rhod Gilbert. Yum yum.

RaspberrySnowCone · 04/05/2013 06:36

Certainly did mean end of the drought thankfully although this happened last time, nothing for weeks then a quickie then nothing again. Had loads more CM this morning and my back is still super sore? I had a horrendous migraine yesterday too, easily the worst I've had. I also cried on the doctor yesterday morning too :( he is going to try and find me a fertility counsellor and gave me some sleeping tablets to see if I can get a good nights sleep although to be honest I don't sleep too badly.

How did mooncup go Twink? I had a massive leak with mine first time I used it and haven't touched it since!

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 04/05/2013 07:38

Morning hags. Busy day for me today: just been for my run, got a dance lesson at 10, then we're at the races all afternoon.

Anyone see Graham Norton last night? Cumberbatch galore! Wasn't a fan of his hair, though I suspect he's got it long for Sherlock. He was so nice to the fans too

Enjoy the long weekend hags Grin

Running AND racing! Good gracious!

I have always been a fan of Rhod. I just find him extraordinarily sexy

As well as funny obviously. I almost gave myself a hernia laughing when I saw him at the Apollo. It was the million candle torch sketch.

Maybe I should have sex with Rhod

OP posts:
RaspberrySnowCone · 04/05/2013 09:38

Rhod and Cumberbatch together......I'd give it a go I reckon :)

HesterShaw · 04/05/2013 09:40

Forget Cumberbatch. Just Rhod and me.

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 04/05/2013 10:21

I'm going to iplayer Graham; can't miss out on Captain Fine and The Batch! Grin

I still feel smug after last night - cycling 4.5 miles each way to the pub entirely offsets the (delicious) three course meal. I can't be fucked to do anything today, though.

You're welcome to Rhod, hest, he's just a normal guy. I bet he'd put a lot of effort in - his shows always look exhausting. I loved candlepower and tog ratings and the award-winning mince pie, I cried laughing :)

Normal but FUNNY AND DEAD SEXY

evilgiraffe · 04/05/2013 11:01

Funny, yes. Sexy, meh. Although he can probably sing (what with being Welsh and all), which is always a plus point.
